If you are considering getting your brows microbladed, look no further. Kara's salon is beautifully appointed and very welcoming and professional. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt pampered and cared for. Kara is meticulous and very experienced in her field. She took careful measurements and my brows have never looked better. The best part is that I felt no discomfort and had a lovely conversation during the procedure. I can't wait for my follow-up and have never been happier with my brows. read more

WOW! Kara completed changed my look but in such a good way. She balanced out my face and made me symmetrical which was my goal. She is kind and makes you feel very comfortable. Highly recommend as she's the best brow gal in town!!! read more

Kara created such natural looking eyebrows, thicker and darker as myself but not too heavy. She was so kind and caring and the microblading didn't hurt but she checked to make sure several times. She also took her time to ensure that I understood what to expect and that she was creating the natural look I sought. I couldn't be happier. read more

I had a great experience at Kara Sanchez Beauty. I had a Lash Lift and Tint done with Capri last week and just yesterday had my eyebrows done by Kara. The shop is ADORABLE. Kara is awesome at what she does, she measures 3 times and cuts once with your approval :) I highly highly suggest her! The photo below is about 3 minutes post procedure-- I am told the orange color will be gone and they will be softer in time. I am on day 1 of healing and feeling great. read more

I waited and waited to try micro blading and my only regret is that I did not do it sooner! I had been following Kara for over two years and finally decided to make the commitment when she opened up new appointments for this year! Best decision I ever made! My almost non existent eyebrows now look amaaazzzzinng!!! Thank you Kara!!!! read more

This is my second review for Kara, the first one was after she has been shaping my brows for over a year, never once I left her place disappointed, she always gives me brows better than what I have been expecting! I build a good level of trust with her and her team until I finally decided to get my brows micro-bladed! she is not the just the best at what she does because that's a given now, but she is also the most amazing person ever, most organized, great customer service, great communication, she cares about the tiny little details nobody else cares about. Talking about the great customer service, I remember having my first micro-blading session right before quarantine, I was supposed to go back for the second session within a couple of weeks to make sure everything stays in place, but because of quarantine everything closed and I had to wait for months to go back, after things opened back again I went to see her and she said that because I didn't come back in time due to covid I couldn't get the results she was hoping for ( even though they looked great to me! but they didn't meet her standards) so she told me that she will give me another free session to make up for what I have missed! I literally don't know of any place who would do that! so I went back to see her again and I can't be happier with my brows! Thanks for the best brows :) read more

Kara Sánchez Beauty - Right after the session - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Austin, Texas

I strongly recommend Kara, she is a true professional and I am so blessed to have been able to have her do my eyebrows, and thanks to my dear friend for having referred me to Kara. If you go visit her you will not be disappointed. read more

It took me a while to make the decision to have my brows professionally maintained. I'm over 65 and really thought my thinning, ugly brows were something that I had to accept as part of the aging process. That all changed when my lovely neighbor told me about Kara. From the moment I stepped into her salon, I knew I was in great hands. Kara loves what she does and that radiates through her professional and beautiful brow work. She honestly wants her clients to love their brows and strives for perfection. Thank you, Kara, you have a client for life! read more

I can't say enough great things about Kara Sanchez and her salon! Her salon and staff are so welcoming and when I step in the door I feel like I'm visiting a good friend. A really, REALLY talented friend! Kara is exceptional at brows. Its why I come back again and again. I don't understand how a reviewer could love her work yet "ding" Kara because she's booked. Isn't that the customer's poor planning? Why didn't the person leave a 5* review a year ago, but they have time now to leave a lower one? I've never had an issue with booking because I'm always reminded to prebook my next appointment(s) before leaving her salon. read more

Kara is the BEST in the game! She is not only absolutely wonderful at her job but she is SO personable, very attentive and extremely passionate about what she does! And sweet Maddi-She is sooo friendly! And you can tell she truly loves what she does! The facility is immaculate, the design keeps your eyes constantly moving-everything about KSB is perfect. From start to finish. read more

Wonderful experience from the moment I scheduled myself for Kara's Signature Brow. Prior to my arrival I received reminders about what I needed to do to prepare for my appointment, which I found very helpful. The salon is easy to find and beautiful once you get there. Kara and her staff are so kind and caring throughout the entire process. They make sure to inform you of what is going to happen, answer any questions, and make sure you are comfortable through it all. I have had my original appointment as well as my touch up appointment and absolutely love my brows read more

After a year of research I decided to jump in, feet first with combo brows. Kara did an amazing job & made me feel at ease with my brow wishes! Maddi explained aftercare thoroughly & was able to answer all of my questions. A very genuine & fun experience! If I lived in austin I would want to work around these amazing, knowledgeable, bad-ass women! read more

Kara Sanchez is exceptional! She is incredibly talented, knowledgeable, thorough, friendly and professional! Her staff is fantastic too! I have VERY course and challenging brows and she is able to transform them into beautiful brows every time! I'm obsessed with her luxe lift brow gel! I use it daily. We are truly blessed to have someone of her talent in Austin! Highly recommend! read more

Kara is a magical unicorn eyebrow magician!!!! She is so personable, talented and truly funny: being in her chair was the highlight of my week. I got my eyebrows shaped and laminated and I haven't stopped getting compliments on them. Thank you so much Kara, I can't wait to come back in a month or so!! read more

Kara Sánchez Beauty - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Austin, Texas

I was really looking forward to getting my Brows done by Kara Sanchez unfortunately for me she just didn't live up to all of the reviews she has and photos that she posts on Instagram. There were many red flags throughout my interactions with Kara and honestly I continued to overlook taking into consideration her having lack of help and being overwhelmed at the time of my sessions with her. Kara's communication was not good from the beginning. Appointments were rescheduled via a automatic text message, this was very frustrating. Im a busy woman as well and had to allow time for these sessions and no call or explanation is not acceptable. I went in for the initial shaping and she rushed through the process and did not answer my questions in a direct manner and she talked over me several times. The persona I saw on Instagram definitely was not the woman I met in person, she would become irritated then nice then irritated again. It was clear she very was overwhelmed to the point it was uncomfortable to be in her studio. I explained my goals for my brows showing her desired shapes quite similar to mine they just had the length and fullness I desired. After completing the shaping she asked what I thought and I explained they looked good I just wanted them to be fuller and longer. Kara said we can adjust the day of application. Not addressing the concerns. My number ONE concern was a no makeup look only very natural. I was not sure what type of application process to choose traditional or nano brows. Kara explained the nano brows as; much finer and a more precise hair like appearance with a very realistic look. Per her recommendations I decided on the Nano brows. Unfortunately they don't look natural, they look tinted or more like powder brows, with minimal blade strokes and they are far from balanced. They also are not full and the tail of the brow is only a tad more then what was there. She also asked nothing about the color and went straight with Ebony. Kara had a unprofessional demeanor and unprofessional conversations all while conducting business. At the end of the day the upsetting part of all this was when I addressed my concerns via email. Keeping in mind I allowed two months to go by for proper healing and honestly I was hoping I could get used to the unevenness and the fact that they were not what I asked for. To be clear there is nothing wrong with the features of my face nor do I have oily skin or did I have any pigmentation loss. Sadly I could not get used to them. Kara's response was I'm sorry you aren't happy, let me refund you for future touchup service, and by accepting that you will be agreeing to NOT post any negative comments on any social media site and you can not get any future services with myself or any other artist in her studio. Later she stated I'm sorry we couldn't come to a resolution! Yet she offered no resolution to fix the issue but only a patronizing apology and money, both of which I wanted neither. I did however ask the amount to add to this review so people can know what to expect if this happens to them but she never responded back with an amount only days later she respond saying that was no longer a option and that it had passed 120 days from the initial deposit which was placed in advance and that "square" would not allow it, this was laughable to me. I never once spoke of wanting a refund because I didn't want one, I still don't. I truly felt and feel she could fix the issues. I was shocked that she didn't bother to ask me to come in or even so much as a plan for future adjustments, she also stated I wasn't happy from the beginning which was not true and I couldn't even believe she said that! Why? Because I was specific on what I wanted and she didn't deliver?!?! As a Barber I realize there is no perfect haircut only the illusion of a perfect haircut, it's the same for eyebrows there is no perfect eyebrow, they will never be exactly the same but for nearly $1000 I do believe it's reasonable to expect the illusion that they are the same or at least mostly even. The way she addressed her "2nd complaint in years!" Seemed so weird and out of line. If her complaints are so rare I would think it would be easy to fix. Being a Veteran attention to detail will always be a part of my life and I thought being that Kara does semi- permanent makeup on people that would be a part of her workmanship as well but sadly for my service it was not. I sent many emails asking her to at lest consider looking at them again and hoped we could work together. She was not only rude but she was blatantly mean with polite language I suppose that's just her way of being professional. Again money is not the issue here but for the dollar amount it should have a equal artistry, and a standard but I'm going to have to say she dropped the ball this time. I DO NOT recommend Kara Sanchez for this particular service to anyone!!! read more

Went in to get my touch up after a little over a month and I still can not be happier. Kara took what she learned with the healing from the first session and made the final product even better. I am ALL about anything that reduces my time to get ready in the morning and I could NOT be happier. All I have to do is swatch on some brow gel and voila, ready for the day. Well worth the price. As an added bonus to yourself, get Priscilla to curl/tint your eyelashes while you're waiting for your eyebrows to numb. read more

I've known Kara for years as a professional acquaintance. When I made the decision to have microblading done, there was no doubt that she would be the only person I would trust to do it for me! Kara is so detailed with her work, hygiene & cleanliness standards are of the upmost importance to her, and she has such a HUGE & impressive background with her brow artistry skills--it only made sense for this to be her next venture! She is one of the most professional, passionate & dedicated people I know when it comes to achieving the perfect brow for everybody. The whole process was so quick & I felt so cared for the entire time. Kara walked me through every step of the way & made sure that my comfort was at the forefront the entire time. I personally feel like waxing hurts more than microblading did! And it's been SO nice to have my brows ready to go every morning! Kara carefully selected my shade & shape with me to ensure I was happy with her selection. Another reason why I chose Kara is that she uses all disposable tools on every client, so there is minimal risk of infection. I highly recommend her to anybody that is wanting to pursue microblading. read more

I found Kara on Instagram through a friend sharing her story. Before seeing Kara, I had been reluctant to letting anyone touch my eyebrows for years, but I knew I needed help. I booked my first eyebrow shaping and was so impressed that she actually gave me the mirror and asked me to tell her what I did not like about my brows and what I was hoping for. During the process Kara was so attentive and patient while working with me. For my first shaping I received a full size Anastasia product and I've been able to recreate my eyebrows at home. Her shop is beautiful and her staff is wonderful. In the end I got my dream brows. Thank you Kara! read more

Kara is incredible! I was nervous about a semi permanent procedure but after scouring for someone with tons of experience and the best reviews I decided on Kara. I could not be more thrilled with how gorgeous my brows turned out! I've been mistaken for 7 to 10 years younger than I actually am on multiple occasions and it may be a coincidence but it only happened after these magical brows! Kara herself is a delight. Warm, friendly and a blast to hang out with during the procedure. Her office manager Jenny is adorable and fun as well. The studio is clean, and comfortable and they do all they can to make you comfortable. I've recommended Kara to everyone I know. read more

I LOVE Kara! She makes my brows look amazing every single time I see her. Not only does she make your brows look show stopping, but she teaches you how to use the products so you can accomplish that look on your own. To top that off, she is so kind and easy to chat with. She truly makes you feel like one of her closest friends every time you see her. Her shop is always very clean and welcoming. I don't think I will ever stop getting my brows done by her! read more

Kara Sánchez Beauty - After! - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Austin, Texas

First of all I have been following Kara's work for almost 2 years, and have been soo excited counting down the days to my appointment! I wish I had been in a position to go a lot sooner :) As soon as I arrived the location was beautiful, and the studio smelled like my favourite flower Lilies and looked like it was straight from out of a magazine! Jenny, the studio manager was super sweet and so welcoming and explained in detail about the aftercare process and what to expect. She really helped me to relax, and was a joy to be around. Kara and Jenny both complement each other so well, and it shows! Kara did an AMAZING job on working with my practically non existent brows! The procedure was practically a pain free experience, which I am a total baby so you can trust me on this one! We talked about what we could realistically achieve and what I could do to enhance them further in the future which was extremely informative! as I was totally clueless on other options. I can now wake up with natural looking brows, and not have to worry about them washing off or having to pencil them in before leaving the house. What a relief!! I felt like I had spent the afternoon with old friends!! It was a total treat!! Kara, you are wonderful and so talented!! I am looking forword to continue to watch your work and enjoy the updates!! read more

Highly, highly recommended Kara for brow shaping! I've always been the type of person to go to hair salons or Ulta for brow shaping, because that's what I learned from my mom. After a bad experience at a salon I'd never been to before (we're talking wonky super thin shape, and damaged skin from the wax) I knew I needed a change. I went to Kara about six weeks later once the hair grew back and I'll never go anywhere else. I LOVE the entire experience every time, and the staff at her shop are always so sweet and welcoming so I love getting to chat with them while I'm there. read more

Kara shaped my eyebrows to be the best they've ever looked!! She was so friendly and the experience was great! Kara is super knowledgeable and gave me great tips for taking care of my brows. Love that you get a full sized Anastasia product at your first shaping appointment. Will be recommending to all my friends!! read more

I am a complete and total perfectionist with everything in my life...including my beauty investments. When I came across Kara's brow studio as I was researching microblading, I knew I had found "the one." I live close to 1 1/2 hours away from her studio...but I didn't care. I wanted KARA to do my brows. There was something about her website that was fresh & clean. There was something about her online presence that was ultra professional, yet friendly and down to earth. And there was something about HER WORK that was extraordinary. When I wanted the brows from every one of her 'after' pictures, I knew I had found MY brow lady. I messaged her off and on through Instagram...and when I met her in person on the day of my appointment, she did not disappoint. I felt as if I was seeing a good friend that I hadn't seen in a long time. She made me feel so welcomed, so comfortable and so pampered...and omg my brows look fantastic! I love how she took so much time to revise and perfect the final outcome. This is my kind of brow lady! I am not kidding you when I say that there is no need to look any further for a brow artist. Stop reading this now and go book your appointment. You can thank me later. :) read more

Don't even think of going anywhere else! I'm so lucky that I live in Austin but if I didn't, I would fly across the country to only go to Kara! She is one of the kindest people I have met and really wants to make you feel as beautiful as she makes your brows look. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. read more

Kara is an artist, a true master of her trade, and I would not get my brows microbladed by ANYONE else in the city of Austin let alone the state of Texas! She took what was quite a mess and gave me dream brows. Not only is she incredibly gifted, she has the softest touch - it was the least painful microblading experience I have ever had. I would give her ten stars if I could. Thank you for making me feel beautiful again, Kara! PS - her team is amazing, Maddi is the best, and it doesn't hurt that the studio is the perfect blend of amazing flowing plants, Anthro-style decor, and soothing neutrals. OBSESSED. read more

I cannot recommend Kara Sanchez enough! She is my fairy brow godmother. I have worked so hard to grow out my brows to get that perfect arch shape and fullness. Kara is ridiculously talented and visiting her shop is the highlight of my month. Her staff, shop, and the experience is relaxing, fun, and memorable. I get endless compliments on my brows thanks to Kara and her magic touch. She is true ARTIST. I love my shaping/tint/lamination - thanks to her I feel confident! read more

I've been wanting my eyebrows micro-bladed for a long time. Kara was recommended to me as "the best in town" and I can certainly see why. I am currently one week out and am very happy with my new look! Kara is wonderful. I had zero pain during the procedure. I'm looking forward to going in for my 2-month touch-up and being a continuing client! read more

Kara did the most amazing g job on my brows! I have never received so many compliments on my brows... EVER! She is so amazing at what she does and her results show her skill, experience and talent.

If you are looking for help with your brows or have light hair and need color to your brows... kara is your girl! She also is so friendly and such a fun personality! Definitely recommend her!!! read more

Her work is amazing. Just check it out on Instagram. She's a bit pricey but it's worth the piece of mind knowing that she's excellent with your brows. You don't want to pay less somewhere else for something you'll may or may not be happy with. read more

Kara is hands down the BEST brow artist in Austin (and quite possibly the world). She is a perfectionist. She cares deeply about her clients. She is passionate and goes above and beyond to make sure the best results are delivered. Kara's team is just as wonderful. Everyone is so welcoming, no questions go unanswered, and the vibe in the shop is so positive and puts you at ease. Kara is truly one of a kind - an artist that has perfected her craft. She has won my full trust and I wouldn't go anywhere else. You won't regret booking with Kara - she is worth it!!! read more

Booking Kara for my brow shaping was a no brainer. If you follow her on social media, your brows will truly look amazing when you leave her chair. Upon arriving, I was greeted promptly and went over a quick consultation about what I like. Kara measured my brows, shaped them, filled them and showed me what to do in order to replicate it on my own. It took under 45 mins total. I never realized how much brows changed your face until Kara touched my brows. When I look in the mirror now, I am shocked with how much more defined and awake my face looks. The arch she gave me allows for a whole new look and many more possibilities with eye make up. I love it. I can wake up and go about my day or wake up and add a little extra to spruce up my brows. On a side note, Maddi and Kara are in sync. They have a system that just works and was great to be around such positivity during tough times. It was great to talking about plants and Pomeranians too Thanks Kara and Maddi! read more

What an exceptional experience! I had always wondered what microblading would be like and decided to give it a try. The entire 2 hours felt like a day at the spa with friends. Everyone was so friendly and easy to talk to. The process was easy, painless, and Kara is clearly an expert in her field. The healing/after care was easy and hassle free. I am already loving the results and can't wait to see when they are fully healed. Everyone interested in this should go to Kara, she is worth the wait! read more

LOVING my brows! Maddi and Kara made me feel comfortable and heard every step of the way and educated me on what to expect from the process! They are SO professional and have a beautiful, thoughtful, artful approach to brows. They've fully restored my "ghost of brows past" before I plucked and I love them. Considering that we're currently living in a world where people see us from the mask up- it's a great investment in self care. Couldn't be happier! read more

I have struggled with my brows the last 10 years, hating the way they looked. My brows have turned gray over the years, and have thinned out to almost nothing! I was constantly penciling them. I was fearful of the "permanent make-up" . I have seen so many people, especially those with really thin brows, look like someone used a sharpie to draw them in. A friend had Kara do her brows, and they looked amazing! I made an appointment for a shaping. Kara was so full of information, answering all my questions, straightforward and honest. She really wants you to be completely happy with your choices. I was very confident she could give me the brows that would be the best shape for my face, and look natural. I have completed my initial appointment and follow up. The actual procedure is not painful, and chatting with Kara and Maddie, the time flys by. They both feel like friends. I don't think I have ever been happier with my brows. Absolutely worth the wait to get the best available. read more

I spent the last year searching high and low for a Microblading artist who I felt I could trust with, what most would consider, the most important feature of your face- my EYEBROWS! Just as I was about to throw in the towel- I heard about Kara Sanchez Beauty. After a few days of obsessing over everyone's work and how beautiful the salon was on IG- I knew this was going to be right place to go to so I pulled the plug and book my session. I'm already on day 10 and I am LOVING my new eyebrows and lash lift. Priscila did an amazing job and I can't thank her enough for making me look and feel amazing! For those of you wondering if it hurts, it didn't. I don't think I've ever been able to do my makeup in less than 10 minutes like I have the last week for work- why didn't I do this sooner?!!! (because the universe wanted me to find this gem in Austin, duh ) Ladies- what you see is most definitely what you are going to get- an elite experience with talented artists. I was so nervous when I arrived but Maddi, Kara, and Priscila were so welcoming and I can honestly say I felt at home once the jitters went away. You can tell that they all love being around each other and love what they get to do every single day. I do think that letting you know this salon is gorgeous and literally every girls dream is also worth mentioning. I can't wait to go back for my 5 week touch up- these ladies are so much fun to be around! read more

If you're ever feeling your eyebrows are subpar, just visit Kara, whether it's tweezing or microblading. She'll take you from a pumpkin to somethin, spectacular that is. She's the reason that I'm confident enough to go out in public now, without makeup, without wearing a bag over my head. You can trust her because she's so passionate about what she does. She's the fairy brow mother. I used to feel like Beast from beauty and the beast, now I feel like Belle. My husband no longer likes to keep me hidden from the public, and allows me to walk 10 steps behind him now. Anyways, don't trust anyone else with your brows, unless they learned microblading from Kara. read more
